Driftwood Valentine

Synopsis

Valentine Fitzclare lives on a barge moored in a London canal. Behind a curtain of mystery and loneliness, he seems obsessed with filming everybody with an old video-camera, ambiguous heritage from his darker days. When he accidentally frames a pair of young and beautiful escaping lovers and an attractive middle aged woman helping them, light seeps into his life anew and shakes it with its primordial strength.
